starts with something like sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia)?
Not to fear! This book is nothing like that!
Our goal at CannaMD is to provide practical patient education
without making your head spin. (Speaking of which:

Marijuana: 101
Chapter 1
Important Terms
Cannabinoids: Naturally occurring chemical compounds in
hemp and marijuana plants; also known as plant cannabinoids
or phytocannabinoids
CBD (cannabidiol): Often, but not always, the second-most
abundant cannabinoid in marijuana
CBN (cannibinol): Cannabinoid known for its ability to promote
sleep and relaxation
Hemp: A non-psychoactive variety of the Cannabis sativa plant
Medical marijuana (as defined by Florida Senate Bill 8A): All
parts of any plant of the genus Cannabis, whether growing or
not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of the
plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of the plant or its seeds or resin, including
low-THC cannabis, which are dispensed from a medical marijuana treatment center for medical use by a qualified patient
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol): Cannabinoid responsible for
marijuanas mind-altering/psychoactive effects
What is marijuana?
Marijuana (also known as cannabis) is a variety of the
Cannabis sativa plant, which is part of the Cannabaceae family.
While researchers are still trying to pinpoint an exact number,
recent studies suggest marijuana contains over 100 unique
chemical compounds called cannabinoids.
Cannabinoids are what make marijuana work. (More on that

For now, all you need to know is that different cannabinoids do
different things. For instance, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
gives marijuana its psychoactive effect. Cannabidiol (CBD), on
the other hand, exerts its influence without any type of high.
Is marijuana really medicine?
Marijuana as medicine dates back to 2900 B.C., with the Shennong Ben Cao Jing (an ancient Chinese text) recording prescribed uses for rheumatic pain, malaria, and other common
ailments. Archaeological and historical accounts also suggest
cannabis was used, in combination with wine, to anesthetize
patients during surgery.
While Western medicine didnt pick up on the treatment until the
early 19th century, researchers were quick to hop on board; by
